uhm, being a creative guy does NOT mean you know how to install/maintain aserver. I wonder.. why don't you hire someone to do the job for you.. costsyou less then trying it yourself..Anyway, the tutorial on devshed.com should get you up and running.. is notgoing to cost you to much time.

Charles HomanGlad you can make such judgements based on my sig line -- You're are right, but that was kind of a knee jerk assumption that you should shy away from doing in the future. Let's sum it up by saying I like to learn new things. Plus, if I know this I don't have to be held hostage by ignorance when I need something like this on another server.

B. van OuwerkerkI know an experienced sysadmin who forgot. I don't know many (0) creative guys who know much about the servers they're using. Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions.. I can understand that.. but why not play with an offline machine until you know what you're doing.. screwing up an offline machine is not such a problem.. You could ask your ISP to do it this time.. next time you'll have enough knowledge to do it yourself. /me doesn't like to admin boxes installed by someone else.. Then you didn't

Charles HomanI don't doubt that. You're right... BUT - count me a (1) that wants to lean. Sending them a message right now because I am going mad trying to figure out what tools they have installed and if they are correct. Found it right after I posted the previous message. Bet you're saying 'Yeah Right' :) It does look like a very good tutorial. Thanks. Hey, can we fuss like this more often! It's fun, and I learn a lot. Seriously, thanks for the direction.

Did this before and got same errors, and I didn't forget to ldconfig

I can understand that.. but why not play with an offline machine until youknow what you're doing.. screwing up an offline machine is not such aproblem..Right again -- got an old P100 machine here that I am going to try this on..You could ask your ISP to do it this time.. next time you'll have enoughknowledge to do it yourself. /me doesn't like to admin boxes installed bysomeone else..

Charles HomanSee comments in message below.. Here ld.so.conf; verona:/usr/local/src# cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib /usr/local/mysql /usr/local/Hughes /usr/X11R6.3.3/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib Have tried with /usr/local/mysql/lib and /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql in there as well - this above is the way file was originally (before I started trying to get PHP 4.05 and PDFlib to work) Here's directory of /usr/local/mysql verona:/usr/local/mysql# ls bin/ info/ libexec/ mysql.h share/

No. I am on a co-located server built by my service provider - Colossus,Inc. Do you think it could be the compiler? I thought that it may be MySQLtoo and was going to reinstall it suggested I upgrade to "Thread" something.I have gcc 2.7.2.1 now.

Was going to try to do all this with RPM but no go there. I have 2.0 and itrefuses to let me install the rpm. Went to get higher version of rpm andcouldn't unpack cpio to upgrade rpm!!!

Needless to say, I am having a bear of a time.

Finally -- go to http://www.mysitestation.com/phpinfo.php to see how thecurrent version of PHP is configured. One thing I notice that may be aproblem is that the system shows calcite.colossus.net and notverona.mysitestation.com -- Could that be a problem?
